The doc sets that come with installations are "shell" doc sets that contain search indexes and metadata, but no actual documentation. When Xcode downloads an update (or you force this by pressing the "Get" button), a new copy of the doc set is downloaded that contains all the documentation.
Also, I don't understand this:
"we wanted to avoid people downloading the docs as a large chunk of the SDK, then immediately downloading the updated docs"
Why aren't the updated docs just included with the SDK? Do you mean that the docs are always late? Regardless of what it means, a full doc set should come with the SDK or (at the very least) a doc download should automatically launch (or the user should be prompted to launch it) at installation time.
I partly agree with this, in that the current behavior is not acceptable. However, I do understand the rationale for this, and am actually happy I don't have to wait a long time for the installer to write a lot of data that I know has to be replaced immediately. But the problem is that I don't know about it, we are having to figure this out ourself the hard way. Xcode should at least once notify us about this the first time we run a new install.
